Highland Drive

Stanthorpe, Queensland

Route highlights include stopping at Storm King Dam for a picnic, fishing or water sports if you have come prepared. The dam is kept well stocked with Murray Cod, Silver Perch, Yellow Belly and Spangled Perch. From there, it is a lovely meandering journey, past turnoffs to wineries and farms, and through the unique country that is the Granite Belt. From Eukey, you can enter the northern part of the renowned Girraween National Park - you will need to turn into Parrish Lane and then Pyramids Road if you wish to stop in at Girraween National Park. Otherwise, the route journeys past the northern part of the park. Now is the part of the journey that really ventures into wine country. As you travel further south - closing in on Ballandean, the temperatures drop and the grapes really thrive. Cellar doors you can visit along the way include Serrena Que Estate Winery, Symphony Hill Wines, Twisted Gum Wines, Hidden Creek Winery, Just Red Wines, and Dear Vincent Wines. Gin lovers are catered for too, at The Ginyard. The route ends in the village of Ballandean where the historic Ballandean Railway Station sits proudly, still receiving Steam Trains on weekends, some great cafes, the Ballandean Pub, and more wineries.
